These are the 2 main variants of the Suzuki Jimny 5-door in the Philippines

The Suzuki Jimny 5-door is the brand’s answer to its customers’ call for a larger version of the iconic mini sport utility vehicle. 

As a result, the larger brother of the original pocket off-roader gained a longer body for better interior room and improved luggage space. 

Many fans are also happy to see Suzuki Philippines Incorporated (SPI) continue to support the Jimny’s five-door platform with the introduction of special-edition models like the recently launched Rhino Edition. 

To date, SPI is offering the Suzuki Jimny 5-door in two main variants with the top-of-the-line model sporting its own sub-trims. On that note, we take a look at how these models differ to help our readers who are still on the fence about which grade to get.
